Renting...
One problem with renting, rather than owning your home, is that you don't feel the need to actually own tools...
Well, we were having a big problem with heating Caleb's room. The caulk around the window swamp cooler (a permanent fixture) had disintegrated. Consequently, cold air was constantly blowing in despite our duck tape and cardboard.
I went to a hardware store and bought a big tube of caulking. However, I didn't realize you had to have a caulking gun for the big tube to work...so trusty Todd made do with what was around the apartment. (I guess a trip back to the hardware store just wasn't worth it...?)
Please notice that he is pushing the caulk out of the tube with one of my vacuum extensions. And he stuck one of Caleb's large books under his shirt to push the tube against. This lovely solution resulted in a nice hole in his shirt.

Despite the equipment handicaps, Todd did a good repair job.
